While most of the U.S. deals with poor weather, over in Egypt they’re dealing with poor living conditions. We talk to a couple of people with unique perspectives on the situation: Vijay Prashad gives us a political and historical view of these events, while Thea Price-Eckles gives us a personal view of the world outside her apartment in Cairo.

Bill and Jaz discuss the variousbenefitshappening this weekend (and point out which one might be of use to you in the upcoming zombie apocalypse, if that’s how you make your important financial decisions). Also, we wrap up the roundabout discussion, and Bill talks about zoning. But don’t worry: he swears, so it’s not boring.

Join Bill and Jaz at Look Park tomorrow for the 20th annual Transperformance. This year’s theme is “Body Parts.” See how we translate that into costume (don’t worry – there is no chance of us showing up as Slim Goodbody).
